The Fall of Man and the Love of God | Highlights Ep.13

Genesis is a book of fundamental importance for the Jewish and Christian faiths and has exerted a profound influence on Western Civilization. In addition to being a great religious text, it is also a literary masterpiece. We invite you to learn more by exploring Hillsdale College’s full course, “The Genesis Story: Reading Biblical Narratives.” Join us as we explore some of the work’s major narrative themes, including the complex relationship between God and man, the consequences of a rupture in that relationship, and the path toward reconciliation.

Watch the full course here:

Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith.

The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.

By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.

Professor Jackson, I could listen to you do this with the entire Bible.

Amazing that Hillsdale is doing anything on the Bible, in this day and age, where Christianity and God are so despised, good for you Hillsdale. May God bless you richly.

I love “The Garden Song, ” by Bob Bennett
Lyrics:
I hear footsteps in the Garden
And I know the Lord is near
And He calls me by my name
Saying, "Where are you hiding?
Where are you hiding?
Why do you hide?
I miss you, my son"
And I answered more loudly
Than I might have done,
"I feel naked and ashamed
I've sinned against you Father
And I've no one but myself to blame"
And He said, "You are not naked
You are clothed in the Grace of my Son
Come and let me lead you
To where your journey will be done"
"Why are you hiding?
Why are you hiding?
Why do you hide from me, my son?
Why are you hiding?
Why are you hiding?
Why do you hide from Me
When I love you so?"

[desertTRUTH]

I wonder did they really get it; get the actual big picture and the consequences of eating the fruit? Or did they really think incorrectly that their eyes would be opened and become like God? I mean was it willingly bringing on consequences they comprehended and charged on anyway, or not really getting it until making the mistake of eating fruit?

[DarkTerritory]

I love this what do I have to do, to go back to The beginning, and watch these in the all the way through?

[daniellynch]

It's Love God new the harm that eating from the tree would cause

Interesting and highly revealing fact: The word "GOD" (also spelled "Gaud") literally means a deceptive artifice i.e. SIMULATION. "Gaud" also means a "trick, JEST, prank, fraud" or "deception." Both the word "dream" and "illusion" have a very similar meaning and etymology as well. A couple of highly relevant passages from the NHL elucidating the trickster-like nature of the force that runs this place: "Yaldabaoth had a multitude of faces, so that he could put a face before them all, according to his desire.."--Secret Book of John//"They alienate with simulations and appearances; they make a free person into a slave."--Gospel of Philip

And he covered their nakedness with the skin of the lamb.

[denisethorbjornsen]

There are people who are innocent or naive they don't even know the word naked they may know the word unclothed or without clothing and yes it is possible
